[QUOTE="Luminosity, post: 42474, member: 3357"] My son doesn't "care" either. He is not adopted, I did not drink or do drugs while pregnant. He doesn't fight the consequences any longer - FINALLY - but he still doesn't care. There is nothing you can take away that will make him more motivated, no reward works. I don't believe in grounding - no offense to those who do - as it punishes me more than him. He does get sent to his room or I attempt to send him to his room for back talking but all he will say is "make me" knowing full well that neither me nor my husband is physically strong enough to move him. Unless difficult child can provoke me to rage then I have the strength of a bull. I do not allow myself to be provoked any longer. I still take things away, send difficult child to his room - when he will go - he still has chores etc... that he is supposed to do. difficult child doesn't rule the roost by any means. I hope you find answers to your questions. difficult child's are confusing at best but still lovable and cherished! Lumi [/QUOTE]
